The couple fell in love with the idea of the tour bus rather than a traditional wedding car after Jonathan proposed to Katie, his girlfriend of seven years, on a City Sightseeing Dublin bus in February last year.

Katie told the Paisley Daily Express: “The bus holds a very special place in both our hearts and was the obvious choice for transport on our wedding day.

“It was the first thing we booked.

“When Jonathan proposed in Dublin it was a huge surprise. We had been to the likes of New York and Las Vegas ... and I did wonder if he would propose then, but it never happened.”

The Glasgow Airport workers exchanged vows at St Mirin’s Cathedral, in Paisley, on July 30 and they managed to keep their unusual mode of transport a surprise — even from their wedding party.

Jonathan said: “I had wanted to propose for a while, but always felt when we went on holiday on our own Katie was expecting it to happen.

“So, when planning Dublin, I invited some friends to put Katie off the scent. It worked and, thankfully, she said yes.”

The duo, who both work for Jet2.com, piled friends and family onto the bus at the cathedral to travel to their reception at Kirknewton House Stables outside Edinburgh.

“Most people knew how Jonathan proposed, so it was a lovely surprise and a really special way to travel to the reception with our closest friends and family.

“The team at City Sightseeing Glasgow did a terrific job, especially our driver, Bill.” added Katie.

Jonathan Harwood, of City Sightseeing Glasgow, said: “We were delighted to have played such an important part in Katie and Jonathan’s big day and wish them both much happiness for the future.

“We often provide transport for wedding parties, but never the bride and groom.
